Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers are hockey royalty, the franchise that produced the Wayne Gretzky dynasty and continues to carry that championship pedigree into the modern era. Playing at the state-of-the-art Rogers Place in downtown Edmonton, the Oilers combine a rabid, tradition-rich fan base with a modern roster built around some of the most electrifying offensive talent in the league. Edmonton's identity is built on speed and skill up front, a legacy of high-flying, star-driven hockey stretching back to the 1980s. Few franchises carry the mystique and championship history the Oilers do.

Established in 1972 as a WHA founding member, Edmonton won five Stanley Cups in seven years from 1984 to 1990 behind Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl returned the Oilers to the Final in 2024 and 2025, losing both series to Florida. Injuries to McDavid and Draisaitl contributed to a first-round exit against Anaheim in 2026, ending the Oilers' run of four straight playoff losses to the eventual Cup champion.
